Leben Very Unlikely in London
Posted by Chad Edward on May 8th, 2008UFC middleweight “Crippler” Chris Leben (18-4) was sentenced to 35 days in a Clackamas County, Oregon jail Thursday for violating his probation.
Leben is scheduled to fight “The Count” Michael Bisping (15-1) in London 7 June. The fight remained on the card at the UFC’s official website Friday morning.
Leben was credited for eight days served, which means he will be released just days before UFC 85.
Since Leben will be unable to appropriately train, his fight with Bisping is likely to be scratched from the UFC 85 card.

By violating probation, do they mean picked up for DUI?
